Hollywood What If

Chapter 57

Cassandra Hoecrap. She was Kazir's ex-wife. She dreamed of becoming a famous actress. 

With her beautiful appearance, she believed that achieving her dream was extremely possible. 

But when she entered Hollywood, her dreams completely shattered. She realized that there were many beautiful women like her in Hollywood. To make the matter worst, they were more talented than her. 

Cassandra didn't know how to act. Her facial expressions were terrible. She didn't know how to cry, smile, and get angry in front of the camera.

Her face was always stiff. As if being an actress was not meant for her. 

In the year 1988, Cassandra Hoecrap entered the filming crew of Rain Man as an extra vase(a beautiful background character). 

While filming the movie, she met Kazir for the first time. She was attracted to his seriousness and confidence. Cassandra was two years older than Kazir but it didn't block their relationship from blossoming. 

Then, they decided to marry. At that time, she really loved him. 

But time passed and Kazir started to become serious about his job. He was so busy that he only returned to the house every other day. 

Furthermore, Kazir's appearance started to change. From a fit young man to a depressing fat guy. Cassandra realized that she started to lose attraction to her husband. 

Because of this loneliness, she cheated on him by having sex with his agent... Then her cheating arc expanded until she found a rich old man. 

He was a producer/investor. He owned a production company too. After her divorce with Kazir, she started living with her lover.

Since then, Cassandra realized that she could use her beauty to attract people, rich people. 

She got half of Kazir's savings and owned his house. She thought she won the battle in life. 

Cassandra thought that she could use this method to scam people. So she did her best to convince his old lover to marry. 

But who would have thought that the old man didn't treat her seriously? He decided to kick her out after having her way with her. 

"... Tch. It doesn't matter, I believe you have some methods to squeeze some money from Kazir. I bought a Chanel bag using my credit card and I still haven't paid the balance."

Cassandra looked at her lawyer. Hoping that the lawyer could answer her problem.

"Of course," the lawyer nodded. 

He knew how to get money from Kazir. However, he was not sure if the outcome would be good for Cassandra and him. 

"... We can contact the other film companies. Maybe some of them are interested to listen to your story."

Money. As long as money is related, people would throw their humanity to acquire it. 

All wrongdoing can be traced to an excessive attachment to material wealth. So yeah, perhaps money is the root of evil. Or was it greed? 

"Thank you, lawyer... I promise to reward you for hard work."

Cassandra playfully lowered her chest to show her cleavage. 

'Fufu. As expected, I can get what I want as long as I use my beauty. It's really good to be born pretty.'

...

Children's Association. 

The purpose of this association was the protect the rights of children under the legal age. 

In Hollywood, underage actors had a history of being maltreated. Perhaps the best example was Macaulay Culkin, a famous child star from Home Alone. Macaulay Culkin's parents squeezed all of the penny from him. His father was abusive and forced him to take many roles without respect for his mental health. When he turned adult, he became depressed and almost killed himself. 

'I'm asking... Where's the Children Association at that time?'

Kazir massaged his forehead. 

It was the third day of the filming. So far, he had filmed five scenes. All of the scenes were related to the baby. 

'The reason why we can't film so many scenes is because of the Children's Association... That's right, someone called the Children Association.'

To be honest, Kazir understood the reason why the Children Association visited his crew. As long as an underage actor would join a project, the Children's Association would try its best to respond by sending some of its members.

Children's Association was a nonprofit organization so the company could not prevent them from doing what they wanted. 

'As a person from a broken family, I want to support the Children's Association. Their purpose is novel... But there's something I don't like about them, they usually have bad motives when they enter the crew. They will ask for something outrageous. They will request something outrageous... Just like now.'

"What's this? This is bad for the kid! You must kick this thing out of the set!"

The woman who had short hair and thick glasses roared. She was from the Children Association. 

She was berating one of his crew members. 

Kazir sighed and stepped in. 

"Ma'am. This is a humidifier. It's a device that adds moisture to the air to prevent dryness that can cause irritation in many parts of the body."

"Humidifier? Never heard of it! All I can see is a cloud of smoke coming out of the machine! I want this thing out of the crew. It's bad for the kid."

Kazir glanced at Producer Enrico Pusi. The Producer sighed and nodded his head. It was tiring to explain it to a woman who had her ears closed. 

"I understand."

Kazir signaled the crew to put the humidifier out of the set.

"Mister Grey. I want to remind you that the baby can only work for three hours a day!"

Child actors are only allowed to work between the hours of 5:00 am and 10:00 pm on school days. But the woman's proposal was much worst. 

"What are you, his mother?"

"What did you say?"

"I said you don't have the right to talk about it. We have a contract and I will abide by the contract. Of course, everything that is written in the contract is legal. You can ask the mother about that."

Kazir was getting tired of this farce. This was the main reason why the shooting was slow.

'Someone wants to disturb our filming. They sent a troublesome person to cause a problem.'

He gritted his teeth.
